The New Rules of Relaxed Tailoring

Start with the essentials

Relaxed tailoring starts with the shoulder. Look for a jacket that follows its natural line without feeling rigid, then check that the sleeve allows your shirt or knit to sit comfortably underneath.

Find your balance

Pair a roomier jacket with trousers that fall cleanly from the hip. A slight break above a loafer or plain trainer keeps the silhouette intentional. You do not need a matching suit to make the proportions work.

Make it your own

Texture adds depth without noise. Brushed wool, fine cotton and a soft merino knit can sit together in similar shades. A simple watch and well-kept shoes finish the look.
